> AI is here, time to create something new and shiny.

The AI we have in 2026 cannot do that or it'd have already been done. I use AI daily: it saves some time. But it produces an infinite amount of insecure, unnecessary, sloppy-pasta.

And that sloppy-pasta doesn't make software any better.



AI is fine, if the thing you want to produce is relatively small and self-contained.

But as soon as you have real, complex project is falls apart. Perhaps when we reach 10M tokens context this will change.


That's why you, the human, are in the loop. Sloppy pasta can be avoided with careful prompting.
